BISMARCK, OAK, March 2.-To those
men who had an idea that they would run
in an omnibus appropriation bill on the
governor at the last minute when it would
be too late for him to veto it, without leav-
ing existing public institutions provided
for, he gave a surprise party to-day by
sending the following document to the
chairmen of the appropriation committees
or both houses:
Executive Office, Bismarck. D. T., March o.
10 the Chairman of the Appropriation Com
m.ttee respectfully call the attention OF the
legislature to the TACT that the executive has
power under the laws of the territory to con-
tract for the care and maintenance of the in
sane and of convictS, and [ would respect
fully suggest that the appropriation bill con-
tain only such items rs properly belong
therein. There is ample time between the
present date and the day of the fual adjourn
ment of the legislature to dispose of the ap-
preparation bill, so that the executive can
have an opportunity to carefully examine the
same, in order that any objections he may
have can be fairly considered. Respectfully,
Louis X. CHURCH, Governor.
The majority of the members of the legis-
lature little dreamed that the governor of
the territory had the power of contracting
for the support OF all the occupants of char
liable and penal institutions. They had the
impression that unless he approved All ap-
preparation for the ostenSible purpose of
supporting these people they must be
turned loose and become beggars. This
new ray of light on the matter will prompt
this body to send in the appropriation
bills for all these institutions
singly, and they will be cut down to the
lowest figure. If not they are very liable
to get veto Two years ago an omnibus
appropriation bill was held until 4 o'clock
sion before it was sent to Gov. Pierce, and
he promptly signed it, but Gov. Church
has given fair warning that this scheme
wont work this session worth cent.
CLOSING THE LIST.
Gov. Church to-day sent in the last list
of the boards of trustees to be appointed by
him, and the probabilities are they will be
approved tomorrow. The only offices left
to be filled by his excellency are those of
superintendent of public instruction and at
torney general. Who will fill the former
position is question, but it is generally
conceded that Sheridan Jones, the present
incumbent, must go. This office is looked
upon by Gov. Church as one of the most
important in the territory, and he
says he will fill it with an able
man and one we'll fitted for
that position if heis obliged to import MA
terial, but this will probably be unneces-
sary. Attorney General Engle will proba-
bly, hold over until after the legislature adj
journs. and may be retained so long as Gov.
Church occupies the executive chair. He
can, however, remove the incumbent from
this office at will, and is independent of the
council, as in fact he is in other appoint
inents, with the exception of f'treasuref and
auditor. Following are the appointments
made to-day:
Sioux Falls School for Deaf Mures-J. E.
Gilbert, Democrat; W. W. Goddard, Demo
arat; c. f. Mckinney, Republican; F. L.
